On this Walking With You, I would like to do something a little different. October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. I have met so many beautiful families through Walking With You, this blog, and through Sufficient Grace Ministries. Your stories have touched my heart, and I want to remember each one of your precious babies. Every life is precious in the eyes of the Lord. Every life has value and purpose. While I have prayed for everyone who has crossed my path, it would be nice to have a list to pray for all in one place...with names and birth dates (and heavenly home-going dates). I thought it would be special for us to compile a list of our precious babies and post it here on October 15th. So, if you are a mother who has lost a baby/child and would like to include your family on our list, please leave your information in the comments below or email it to me at sufficientgraceministries@gmail.com. Even if we've never met (in real life or blog land!), you are welcome to participate. We want to remember all of the precious babies and their families. On that special day, I will post the list here and pray throughout the day for each of you...as we remember together. There will not be a MckLinky on this post. However, if you would like to help us spread the word on your blog so that we could include more families, please feel free! If you would like to include your child on the October 15th memory page, please leave the following in the comments below:

Any message you may wish to share...or bible verse that brings you comfort
Also...if your family has received a Dreams of You Memory Book, we'd love to hear from you. We are working on some projects for Sufficient Grace, including compiling information for hospitals regarding our products and services. Many people have written to us after receiving our books or Comfort Bears. It helps the hospital to know how families are helped by forming a tangible memory with these types of items. If you were blessed by these materials and would like to be included in our testimonial page, please email us at sufficientgraceministries@gmail.com.

We named our son Sam and he was born on 3/4. I looked up the chapter 3, verse 4 in 1 Samuel and it has been an amazing comfort to me.
4 Then the LORD called Samuel.
Samuel answered, "Here I am."
I just imagine our Father calling to our son and welcoming him with open arms....and I imagine it was peaceful and wonderous!!!
What a great idea Kelly. I plan on putting up a post later today and I will include this link. Also, feel free to use any names and such from my Angel Friends list if you like.

Child's Names: Samuel Micah, Josiah Kent, Anna Gabrielle

Entered Heaven: Samuel-7/13/92, Josiah-1/20/95, Anna-11/19/04
Samuel, Josiah and Anna... I am at peace knowing that your lives were for a divine purpose. While I mourned my great losses so deeply, God has made me to dance again. Who would have thought that 13 days, 5 days and 6 years could make such a difference? They did. You did. Each of your lives was special, and purposeful and each of you is loved and missed and longed for. I can't wait until the day we all live together for eternity! We won't just see each other again... we'll LIVE together again... eternal hugs, kisses, laughter, and praising our Father who has given us that precious gift. Until then... my heart will go on singing. Until then... with joy I'll carry on...Until the day my eyes behold the city... Until the day God calls me home.
(Kelly, you don't have to post all of that - I just got caught up in the moment and wanted to put it down - if only here. I had a dream about Anna last night and feel a bit of that deep longing in my heart today. I hope you don't mind me putting her on the list - otherwise I couldn't have joined in - because they all go together and I could never leave her out).
Love you friend.
